Your generosity provides new affordable housing opportunities, critical home repairs, and other crucial affordable housing resources to families across Lake and Sumter Counties.

4.Clean out your Clutter: Is giving your space a fresh start on your resolution list as well? Consider giving your gently used items to your local ReStore. Our ReStores accept many types of furniture, appliances, home accessories, building materials, and more. Donating is hassle-free – you can make your donation at either of our ReStore locations, or schedule a free order pick-up with our dispatch center.
The best part? All proceeds from our ReStores go directly towards supporting our mission to build homes, communities, and hope. Ready to schedule your donation pick-up? Call our dispatch center at 352-589-3005.
5.Join Us for Women Build: Women Build is an annual event that brings together women-led teams to fundraise for and construct a brand-new affordable home for a deserving family in our community. The impact of this event goes well beyond just one home, however – it ripples out. Our Women Builders make a community-wide impact as advocates for simple, affordable housing for all.
Fundraising for Women Build runs from March through May, and volunteers are welcome out on site from May to October.
Women Build is the perfect opportunity to create meaningful change right in your backyard, and invites you to bring your friends and family along for the ride with you.
Mobilize your community and multiply your impact through Women Build! Join the movement on March 20th for our Women Build Kickoff party to learn more about the event and how you can be involved. Reach out to Hannah at hannah@habitatls.org for more details.
